I tried the Sargent seat. Did several all day rides on it. I tried to like it. But, I felt like I was sitting in a hole. Seemed to me like the saddle was too "scooped", like I couldn't slide forward or back. So I went back to the stock BMW saddle. I feel like it is flatter so I can slide all the way back or up to the front. Being able to change riding positions creates, for me, more comfort on long rides. I like to slide back for a more sporty position in the twisties. I do use, on occasion, an Alaska Sheepskin pad https://alaskaleather.com/products/medium-sheepskin-buttpad; mostly when the sun is blistering hot and one could fry an egg on the saddle.
I suspect that many a complaint about any seat, may possibly be due to a rider's bottom side not being in riding condition. Meaning - one gets saddle sore at first, but toughens up after many miles. I now find my stock BMW saddle to be acceptably comfortable. I sold the Sargent.
